Author's Note: This is my interpretation of a scene from the manga, chapter 26. Enjoy the madness.
oOo
Zero and Yuki walked down the cold dark hallway. Yuki stopped at a window and looked out at the falling snow. Zero glanced back at her.
"I have the chairman," she began in a dazed voice, "Kaname-sempai, and Zero… and Yori-chan." She leaned heavily on the windowsill. "I'm very lucky." She looked at Zero. "I used to wonder if my parents disowned me…" Her face saddened. "Leaving such a small child in a snow storm like that…"
"Yuki-" he murmured.
"Sorry! Forget that. I really don't feel attached to them." She plastered a smile on her face and laughed half heartedly. "I don't remember them, or anything about myself, so…"
"You don't have to pretend to be fine… In front of me…" His face was serious but his tone was gentle. "Kuran Kaname was always there for you, but there are times when you are afraid of what you couldn't remember, right?"
She lowered her eyes. They stood in silence for a moment.
Yuki had a far off look in her eyes, "… Hey… If I become a vampire, do you think my heart will be stronger too?"
What?
His face turned to one of shock. He couldn't take his wide eyes off of her as she stared at the floor.
Her voice was small as she continued, "Kaname-sempai asked if I wanted to become a vampire… All I could say was 'yes'…" Shaking her hand in front of her, she quickly looked up at him with a nervous smile, "But really, Kaname-sempai wasn't serious about it so-"
"But you thought it would be okay if you became a vampire, right?" Zero's face was apprehensive but then his voice turned solemn. "I will never let you turn into something like that. Even if it means I have to make Kuran Kaname my enemy, even if that will make you hate me."
I never want you to feel the blood lust I do. I never want you to become a monster like me. I will never let that bastard do such a disgusting thing to you.
